What can my landlord keep my deposit for?
Your agent/landlord can only deduct money from your deposit if you have breached the terms of your tenancy agreement. Common reasons for deduction include:
- Cleaning
- Damage
- Redecoration
- Unpaid rent
- Gardening
The landlord can only claim to restore any issues in the property to the position they would have been in had you met the terms of your tenancy agreement.
The normal decline in the condition of the property and its contents (known as wear and tear) cannot be charged to the tenant and must be factored into the amount charged for repairs, redecoration or replacements.
